Episode 430: May 5-7, 2020
Dan and Jordan discuss a bit of a holding pattern stretch on the Alex Jones Show.
Topics covered include:
Michael Savage is not a medical doctor. His dissertation was about plants in Fiji.
Alex claims that there is a normal number of deaths happening right now. This is not true, and it is very clearly laid out by the Financial Times.
Alex claims that there were a bunch of scandals in the 1990’s about doctors killing patients to steal their organs. He appears to be misremembering a bit of debate about organ donation guidelines that was covered by the New York Times in 1997.
Alex and David Knight pretend that the inevitable additional cases of coronavirus and deaths that come after states open up prematurely are proof of some kind of conspiracy. In reality, they will be the expected thing that happens, as it did in Hong Kong, as well as elsewhere.
Alex lies about the antibody tests that we have for Covid-19. They aren’t perfectly accurate at this point, but his narratives about them turning up positive if you had a cold in the past decade is complete nonsense.
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s daughter did study at Harvard under an assumed name, but that is not secret information, and she’s not attending classes there currently, as Alex believes.
The US and UK did release an advisory warning about hacking, but they did not specify that they were Chinese hackers, as Alex is reporting. They just say they are Advanced Persistent Threat Groups of hackers, which is not country specific.
Alex’s story from the “Financial Telegraph” is actually from the “Financial Mail.” It discusses the effects of the virus outbreak vs. the effects of the lockdown, as it relates to South Africa, but it paints a pretty different picture than Alex paints.
Alex is correct that Marie Antoinette didn’t actually say “let them eat cake,” but his theories about who actually did are not supported by historians.
Alex’s complaints about Marie Antoinette playing badminton while her people starved is way too much of a parallel with Trump going golfing frequently during the pandemic
Alex tries to get in on the action with the new hot “documentary” Plandemic. Mostly he’s just interested in Dr. Mikovits, who has taken a past where she got a paper retracted for being flawed, then getting fired, then getting sued for taking company property, and arrested because of noncompliance with the suit, into a tale of her own persecution and (I guess) how evil Anthony Fauci is
There is no “Event 200” in Memorandum 200
